New Favorite Pastime

twenty-four more to go and
it will be tomorrow one more day older o
ne more day closer to some sort of end
ten am and i'm already ready to say
let's call it a day get me out of this bed
and tell me what you meant when you said everything will be ok
the parking lot sea and me wait patiently to hear the still
small voice beneath the noise the traffic
and sirens say run away but the trains say stay
we've been around and it's all the same
only the names change just hold my head
and tell me what you meant when you said take heart child
be still and quiet know your burdens are mine and dry your eyes
there's so much more to all of this than you can see
so close your eyes tonight and trust in me
hold my head and tell me what you meant when you said trust in me
